ROANA
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
So. The little punk was building a house, now was he? Seemed a good time as ever to meet the new potential in-law. Potential. Her mind wasn’t made up about it yet.Staring straight back at me?
Emmett could have bet his britches that Roana knew all about him. Part of the reason she and her sister-in-law Phoebe had come to terms was because of the massacre of the Palmers. Phoebe had seen first-hand just how quickly things could change, how important holding on to the few people that were family was in this place and reconciled with the Captain. But you see, even if she hadn’t, Roana would still feel protective of her. Phoebe was her husband’s youngest sister, the baby of his family. He had been fiercely protective of her, and now she would fill that roll. Of course, the fact that he had broken her heart, gotten her pregnant and was now apparently manning up to do the right thing didn’t earn him any brownie points to start.
So what if one more Natural hated her guts at the end of the day? He would at least know the sort of thin ice he was walking on, and just how not alone Phoebe actually was in Caido.
Roana arrived not long after the other two, clearly dressed and ready to work. She didn’t recognize the one young man, but when she saw Are she laughed a little and shook her head. ”You are everywhere I go it seems. she said to him. But then her blue gaze turned steely as it came to rest on the young man who had to be this Emmett fellow. ”You must be Emmett. I’m Roana Steadman, Phoebe’s sister-in-law.” she said dryly, giving him an unimpressed once over. This boy was who Phoebe was all twitterpated over? Really? She crossed her arms, glancing about the barn with a clearly judgmental look. This was going to be a lot of work.
